The 1/2" Polyethylene Tubing serves as the backbone of most agricultural and residential water systems. Widely utilized as a primary supply line or drip hose, this versatile black poly tubing is ideal as a mainline for small to medium-sized gardens, or as a lateral distribution line branching off a larger header. For a fully automated and reliable setup, we recommend connecting this line downstream from your irrigation timers and valves. Engineered for maximum compatibility, it accepts a wide variety of irrigation fittings, giving you the flexibility to customize your layout precisely to your landscape's unique contours.
Manufactured by Irritec from premium-grade resins, this tubing offers exceptional durability against harsh weather and intense UV sunlight. Whether you need a short 50-foot run for a backyard raised bed or a 1,000-foot roll for a commercial farm, we provide the exact length required to efficiently route water to your plants.

Not for Constant Pressure
This poly tubing is designed for the downstream side of your irrigation system. It must be installed after any automated timers, valves, and pressure regulators. It is not rated to hold constant static pressure from a municipal water source.
Tubing Size Variations
Please note that all drip irrigation tubing is "nominally" sized, meaning a "1/2-inch" label can vary slightly between manufacturers. Always refer to the specific 0.600" ID and 0.700" OD measurements when selecting compatible fittings.
Ensure you have the correct connection points:
